I've got some catching up to do

According to that extremely impeachable journalistic source The Sun, (proprietor Rupert Murdoch), the average British bloke puts away 44,000 pints before his almost certainly premature death.

The paper's journalists are obviously very poor with their maths or they have a secret watering hole that I have yet to discover. They claim the cost of this to be about £24,000 or slightly more than 50p a pint! I think somewhere in the neighbourhood of £100,000 would be nearer the mark.
